Volume 1, Chapter 1 – Is It Really Okay For A Loli To Be This Cute?

Cute…

So cute…

So, so cute…

That was Tianyin’s instinctive reaction the moment she saw the girl reflected in the mirror.

Long, soft silver-white hair that reached down to her waist, skin as smooth and pale as milk, and a face so beautiful and dreamlike, yet impossibly adorable.

No matter how you looked at it, the girl in the mirror was a level of cuteness that defied all logic.

Well, that being said, it’s worth mentioning, the girl’s height was… terribly unfortunate…

Yes, the only flaw in this picture-perfect beauty was her height, barely over one meter, making her petite body seem even more fragile, as if a single gust of wind could blow her away.

At that moment, the girl’s delicate, childlike hands were pressed against her own completely flat chest…

“So…”

Staring at the mirror, Tianyin spoke slowly.

“I actually turned into a loli! Ha, I was a guy when I was alive, you know! Turning me into such a cute little loli… what kind of twisted hobby is that?!”

Tianyin was furious.

And as she got angry, the girl in the mirror puffed out her cheeks, her small lips pouting slightly. But even when angry, the little girl in the mirror only looked even cuter…

“You damn thing! This disappointing flatness! This face that’s so cute even I can’t help but like it… What the hell are you trying to do! And I was a guy before! Turning into such a cute loli… is that really okay?”

“Well, it’s true you were a guy before, but you have to understand that you’re dead now. In simple terms, you’ve just been reincarnated~”

A mechanical-sounding voice echoed in Tianyin’s ears, and following the source of the sound, she saw a glowing orb rotating quietly, radiating waves of light.

The orb kept spinning, and the voice came from within it.

“And she’s an adorable little girl, you know! This has been my greatest dream! To finally hand over the perfect character design I’ve spent my whole life creating. You should feel honored!”

The orb’s voice grew oddly proud.

“Ha! The problem is that I was a guy! Even if I’ve been reincarnated, shouldn’t my gender still be male? Why the hell did you turn me into a loli, you bastard!”

Rеаⅾ οո КаtReαdiոɡСаfе

Tianyin was completely dissatisfied, not only with her new gender but also with her ridiculously short height…

“You bastard! Isn’t this body way too short! Can’t you at least adjust my height a little?”

“Impossible. Since you’ve been reincarnated by me as a loli, you must embrace the awareness of being a loli. Give up already. This height is perfectly reasonable, derived from my precise data analysis and statistical calculations. Just the amount of effort I put into producing this result is not something you can casually change!”

The orb’s words made Tianyin furious.

But the truth was, she really had been reincarnated, and all authority over her life and death was no longer in her own hands. Even if she protested and begged this so-called system god to modify her data, the chances of success were…

Practically zero.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.”

As Tianyin fumed at her cute reflection, the glowing orb spoke again.

“About your identity as a loli, I suddenly remembered that you were a guy before reincarnating…”

“Oh? What, are you going to change my gender back?”

“Of course… not. I just added a personality plug-in to your character template.”

The orb trembled as it spoke, its tone as if explaining something utterly trivial.

“Plug-in? What kind of plug-in?”

Judging by the orb’s casual tone, it didn’t sound serious, but Tianyin instinctively sensed danger.

“Ah, don’t worry about it too much. It’s just a plug-in, nothing important, it won’t really affect you~”

“The way you say that just makes me more worried!”

“Well, it’s really no big deal. It’s just a support plug-in, it won’t affect your life in the game world. Its only function is to subtly influence your behavior and personality over time~”

“Huh?!”

For some reason, when Tianyin heard the words “subtly influence,” “behavior,” and “personality,” she suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Yes.

“What do you mean? Can you be a little clearer?”

“Well, it’s simple logic. You see, your current identity… you’re a loli now, right?”

“Ah… yeah, I am a loli…”

Being bluntly reminded of her current status as a loli made Tianyin’s chest ache… her soul as a man was crying over her pitiful state.

“So, I realized that no matter how cute or small you are on the outside… in essence, you’re still a guy.”

“Then hurry up and change my gender back!”

“Don’t rush! After considering that issue, I thought it’d be better to come up with a more efficient solution. So in the end, I decided to add a plug-in to your loli template!”

At the mention of the plug-in, the orb’s tone grew excited.

“Hahaha! You should be grateful to me! This plug-in has the power to gradually and imperceptibly turn your personality into that of a true loli!”

“What?!”

Hearing that, Tianyin was completely lost for words.

So you’re saying that over time, that plug-in will influence me and subtly transform me into a genuine, cutesy loli who only knows how to act adorable?

The very thought filled Tianyin with despair.

Even if her appearance was that of a cute loli, as long as she retained her male soul, she could still barely accept it… but having her personality turned into that of a loli too?

That’s… just…

“Way too awful…”

“No no no, not awful at all! You have to understand, I am the great being who controls this game world! And the NPC loli template I created through precise calculations is one of a kind in this world!”

Honestly, that was an outrageously deranged thing to say.

And with that, it seemed the orb decided it had explained enough and changed the topic.

“Well, enough talk. I think I’ve wasted enough words. Next, it’s time to send you into the game world.”

Hearing that, Tianyin panicked.

“Wait! At least change my gender back—”

Unfortunately, before she could finish, a beam of light descended and swallowed her up.

Only the glowing orb that called itself the system remained floating in the air.

“Want to be a boy again? Sorry, lolis are my one true love. You’ll just stay a cute NPC loli forever…”

…………………

“Kyaaa…!!!”

A sound as adorable as a small animal came from within a small, shabby-looking house.

On the room’s only wooden single bed, a tiny yet incredibly cute little girl slowly opened her eyes.

Her long silver-white hair was spread out messily beneath her, and a glistening line of drool still clung to the corner of her pink lips.

The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, her crystal-clear pupils filled with confusion.

“So in the end… I really have to live as a loli, huh…”

She muttered softly, her childish voice unexpectedly pleasant to the ear.

Stretching out her arm, she carefully looked at her slender, delicate hand, her brows knitting slightly. After a brief silence, she let out a deep sigh.

The pure white dress she wore was wrinkled all over, but she didn’t bother trying to smooth it out.

Instead, after a short pause, she slowly sat up on the bed.

“Mm… first… anyway, let’s go see what the world of the game looks like… As for the rest, I’ll just deal with it as it comes…”

Muttering to herself, the girl decided to climb down from the bed.

However, as she scooted to the edge and prepared to step down, her cute little face puffed up instantly.

“Huh… why… why is the bed so low—”

“Why can’t my feet reach the floor?!”

A tragic cry echoed through the tiny room.

Translator Note

Hi, hi~ Invisible Pain here~

This is the fourth novel I’m working on.

To be honest, all this time, I’ve tried to find light, bright, and cheerful novels to translate.

But somehow, the first novel I translated was actually a completely dark novel (That Little Girl, Gave Herself To The Demon).

The second novel, though quite light at first, ended up having a rather serious main plot (The Word Game of Miss Fushia).

And the third novel used serious, heavy narratives (I, The Spider-Dark-Elf Queen).

But! But!

This time for sure! I am sure this novel will be different!

Because! Because! Just look at this first chapter! Isn’t it cute?!

So, yeah! I’m sure this is a cheerful novel…!

I hope I didn’t jinx it…

Anyway! Unlike the first three novels, which only have less than 300 chapters in total, this novel has 627 chapters in total (if I counted it right), which are split into 9 volumes.

So… Enjoy the cuteness and happy reading~
